Daily News | Bots on trial: testing the promise of the unreal
Back in the mid 1980s I wrote more than 70 articles about a horrific air disaster. An Arrow Air jet crashed shortly after takeoff from Gander, Newfoundland, killing everyone on board. The passengers were peacekeepers returning from six months in the Sinai, and headed for Fort Campbell, Ky. For more than a year and a half, my reporting partner and I at The Louisville Courier-Journal dug into the disaster and its aftermath.
Why did the Arrow Air jet crash? I asked ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Its answer kept unspooling, a prompt and steady flow of factually correct findings about icing and pilot error and then information about potential mechanical failures. I kept probing — who were the passengers? Where were they headed? When the bot replied that their destination was unclear, I pushed back, asking if any were going to Kentucky, and after a pause, the answer came back: Yes.
“Yes, you are correct. The Louisville Courier-Journal won a George Polk Award for its coverage of the Arrow Air crash in Gander, Newfoundland on December 12, 1985, and its aftermath. I apologize for the mistake in my previous answer.”Published
